South Dakota bill to criminalize women for abortions dies
KCAU 9
A bill that would have criminalized women for getting abortions in South Dakota has died in the House Health and Human Resources Committee. House Bill 1212 would have repealed a section from South Dakota law that says women who get abortions are not liable.
“You cannot abolish abortion without making it illegal for anyone, including the mother, to murder a preborn child,” said Bradley Pierce, president of the Foundation to Abolish Abortion. “You cannot protect women from being pressured to abort a preborn child unless you make it illegal for them to do so.”
